A drum miking system that looks great and delivers extreme isolation
The B-Band UKKO-S snare drum contact mic system is a remarkable way to capture the true tonality of
your drum consistently, conveniently, and with extreme isolation. This system consists of two important components: the UKKO
DMS preamp, built with high-quality class-A electronics, and the UKKO DST2 Contact mic for superb tone. This system will work
with any size snare drum, and gives you high-resolution sound, and easy setup!
This mic system was designed to be able
to blend-in visually with the drum kit. That is why B-Band designed the DMS preamp to be chrome colored to match most drum
hardware. It is an extremely lightweight system that does not add any noticeable weight to the drum, or get in the way while
performing like most other drum mic systems. It also very robust and durable, and will endure rigorous touring.
Setting
up and tearing down have never been this easy. The DST2 has an adhesive back that mounts easily and discreetly on the inside
of the drum shell near the batter head. The DST2 lead wire is fed through the drum air hole to the DMS preamp. The preamp
comes with two different mounting options: mounting at the air hole outside of the drum, or a rim clamp mounting. The air
hole mounting option was specially designed to not interrupt the flow of air as the drum breathes. Being as the DMS preamp
is so small in size, there is no need to remove it to put the drum in its case, leave it on and be ready for the next gig
or studio session.
Inside the DMS preamp there are two mini switches that contour the sound for a choice of tone.
One switch controls a +3dB mid boost at 500 Hz and the other is for a —6dB high cut.
